Royal Gold is a precious metals royalty and streaming company. It does not run mines itself. Instead, it buys the right to receive a share of future gold, silver, copper, or other metal output from mines owned by other companies, and it sometimes lends money to miners in exchange for similar metal-linked payments.

Its customers are really the mining companies that own and develop the deposits, while its own revenue comes from the metal it receives under those royalty and streaming agreements. Royal Gold then sells that metal into the market, turning mine production into cash flow without taking on the full cost and operating risk of mining.

This business model makes Royal Gold different from a traditional mining company. It sits one step above the mine: it gets exposure to metal prices and mine output, but it usually avoids many of the direct expenses, labor issues, and capital demands of running a mine. That makes it a specialized finance-and-asset owner in the natural resources industry, rather than an operator.
